We recently introduced some new products, and it was hectic! (We are in software, so the process isn't even as complicated as it might be for hardware folks.) Throughout the NPI process, I found that…Continue

I say no. I think robots will eventually make manufacturing jobs even cooler, and raise the level of thinking, creativity involved with working in a factory. Others disagree, and think that people…Continue

Silicon Valley is home to so many software startups, from giants like Facebook and Google in the South Bay to Twitter, Zynga and Salesforce in San Francisco. There seems to be a new app, social network or cloud tool emerging every day.But software startups don't have all the fun. Even though software startups outnumber hardware startups in the Valley, new technologies are opening the door for a hardware startup renaissance. Take the popularity of …See More

Product development is never as easy as going from “What's the market solution” to “what's the engineering design” - there are many decisions in the middle that need to be made around the general design, tech requirements, and main components. (For example - - How’s the chassis going to come together, what’s the power supply, how is it going to communicate?)You probably use Excel for this. At many companies, or on startup teams, you might even find yourselves sitting around in a room and…See More

So, in response to the blog post from yesterday, here are two rules that could guide how component revisions impact assembly-level revisions. This is a tricky call to make because if you always let minor changes to low-level parts trigger new revisions to your top-level product assemblies (and all the intervening sub-assemblies), you end up burying yourself in documentation updates, but if you go too far the…See More

At Arena, we work with a lot of high-tech electrical-hardware engineers and OEMs. In our thousands of conversations with prospects and customers, here is one of the most common questions we get - - if you revise a component used in your designs, or swap it out for a totally different component, how far up does that revision need to go?This is sort of a tricky question to answer with some major pros and cons on…See More

actually some heruble experiences, you know I really like the mechanisms and designing of mechanical products, but every time and everywhere that I worked at the companies at past 8 years I figure out that my ideas and my products kill me and my positions at there!! I'm confused and I can't find a solution to fix that! But …

You know my first attempts and challenge always was "the changing the products" and make them better! But that works wrong and finally they convert to the weapon to press me!

3 years ago I work at company they have a product that they product it about last 40 years ago! (A water pump for air cooler) that’s absolutely natural that it has some problems (bad designing, low efficiency, high production process and cost consume and …) I design a new one (design approaches: low at everything!) you can find its presentation video at my page on Google and you tube(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CbtIVp8fyg ) But this change feedback for meà I forced to leave that company 3days after my public presentation !

Then I design another one but I try to control my ignition to intro my new machine to verify the conditions! (Actually I surprised that they must swap me now!) Until now (10 month) they do nothing to say directly me to leave them but they also do nothing to stay with them!

This is the destiny of who he wants to make somechanges!!

Yours truly
